About Me

I grew up with four siblings and an amazingly smart mom in a small town in Indiana. My mom taught us that we could do anything we set our minds to. Although we didn’t have much money, and we had our share of disappointments, I knew in my heart that I would always be ok.

Through high school and college, I was an achiever! I earned a bachelor’s degree from Miami University, Oxford OH and a Master’s Degree in communications from Marquette University and I was on my way. To where? I wasn’t sure, but I knew I was going.

After college, I started dating Dan Plesac…he had been my friend since my freshman year in high school. He had just completed his rookie year with the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team. Within a year, I had quit my first job, moved to Milwaukee and became a Major League Baseball wife. This started an 18-year journey of living someone else’s dream. I tried to hang on to me, but it was tough to do in the fast pace life that required Dan to be gone 9 months a year.

In 1992, we became parents to our first daughter, Madeline, and our second daughter, Natalie, came along in 1995. I struggled to balance the needs of our girls with the demands of his career, which included spring training, baseball trades and the general pressures of professional sports. In all of that, I lost me.

Even more devastating, after 18 years of marriage, I realized that we no longer shared the same dreams or goals. When we divorced in 2005, I found myself in a major life transition. Although I had my degrees and had been active as a volunteer and board member for several non-profit organizations, my career had always taken a back seat and I realized I didn’t even know me. It became time to find my own path–it was time to reinvent my life. I could finally focus on my career and become person I knew I was meant to be.

Over the next seven years, I worked in Community Relations for a regional campus of a Big 10 University—where I was able to job-share with a friend, giving me the flexibility to be there for my girls- but I always felt something was missing.

When I started training with Martha Beck to become a Life Coach, I found that something! For the first time, I felt like I fit. I was with people who understood. I felt validated in my work and put simply, I had found my tribe!

I saw that my life’s work could align with my authentic self and that by helping others create lives and careers that were in line with who they were, they could live authentically too. Through my training, I am becoming the woman I was born to be. I’ve never been more in touch with who I am, and I hope to help you feel the same!

My Qualifications

As a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach, I have access to the teachings and tools of a great master. You may know Martha from her regular column in O Magazine and her many publications and appearances. Martha has helped countless people navigate personal change.

As a student of Martha Beck, I was required to “live it to give it,” so over the 12 month training process, I was able to do my own work, find my own clarity, and clear my own obstacles. That process has helped me understand the principles of coaching from the inside out. My Martha Beck Life Coach training included countless hours of tele-classes and several opportunities to experience intensive live coaching workshops, some with Martha herself. As a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach, I continue to participate in her coaching community for inspiration and support.

About the Lotus

Helping my clients reach their greatest potential, even when they face challenging conditions, is my purpose. That’s why I have chosen the Blue Lotus Flower as my brand. The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. I know from personal experience life can get muddy. The blue lotus flower is my metaphor for guiding women to the place where life can be joyful, and full of beauty, even when things get muddy.
